Very interesting, that looks like some sort of physical (possibly impact) damage, but that is just a guess. Scott.

No one here has ever seen that kind of damage. I was hoping you might. I guessed stacking something heavy on the closed laptop that was smaller? If you press on the screen in the black areas it acts like it's just a dead pixel (except huge and round) and the color gets distorted around the black but the black doesn't spread.

Any other ideas? Anything I do to figure out what is going on?

The only thing to figure out at this point is whether to replace the screen, or use it as a desktop system with an external screen, or use it as a server with no screen, or toss it in the trash. Let me know the outcome, Scott.

It's under warranty but I don't think Lenovo covers this. We have at least several hundred of these ThinkPad T 530s here so it will most likely become parts if Lenovo says nope to warranty. I was hoping you would say something other than physical damage could cause that.
